| Summary: | English summary of thesis: M. Schraven: Festive Funerals. Funeral Apparati in Early Modern Italy, Particularly in Rome; Promotie: 12 oktober 2006, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Fac. der Letteren; promotores: prof.dr H. van Veen en prof.dr S. de Blaauw. This dissertation examines the art, patronage and ritual use of funeral apparati in sixteenth-century Italy, with a particular focus on the papal court in Rome. It is based on printed festival books and unpublished archival sources, such as ceremonial diaries, diplomatic correspondence, and account books. Taken together, this vast material allows us, first, to understand the ritual, social, and artistic prerequisites posed to funeral apparati, and second, their formal development during the sixteenth century. The book also reveals the tough competition between European courts and institutions in terms of patronage of these ephemeral apparati, nowhere outplayed with more refinement than in the Theatre of the World, Rome. |
